Question 1 of 10
1. It's winter here. It's always winter; you've heard tales of a wicked witch that rules over the land. There are many talking animals but watch out for the spies! What's one way you can get out of this land? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. You have now found yourself in a different land. You find a garden with talking flowers and chess figures. Everything seems strange and different here, and you meet some strange creatures such as fighting twins and a giant, talking egg that is doomed to fall. Assuming you can get out the same way you got in, how can you escape? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. You are in a strangely familiar world. It resembles your own home, actually, except that it seems better. Your family is there as well, except that they seem to be a better version of themselves and have buttons sewn in place of their eyes! How can you escape? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Everything seems a little old-fashioned. You are surrounded by Gaelic clansmen who seem suspicious of you and your foreignness. In fact, they consider your modern ways and technology unnatural and possibly some form of witchcraft. You know that there once was a woman named Claire who decided to stay here. If you are getting back the same way she got here, what should you look for as an escape route? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. You are still in present time on Earth. However, the world is filled with magic coming in all shapes and sizes: potions, spells, and animals. You are in a dark forest full of centaurs, large spiders, and even unicorns. In the distance, you can see a large castle-like structure. There are lots of other people here. If you are going to get home the same way they got here, what should you head for? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. You are not sure where you are, but everything seems normal at first. The world you are in looks exactly like yours, uncannily so. Young children are speculating on what form their daemon will take when they get older. You hear whispers of the Church and something called Dust. What special tool must you use to escape this world? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. The next world is in our world, and at first glance it looks exactly like our world. It is only when you use your imagination that it is transformed, and you heard that a boy named Jess and girl named Leslie used to come here a lot, imagining kingdoms and adventures, until a great tragedy happened. If you are getting back the same way they got back before the tragedy, what must you use? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. You are in a very strange land with strange creatures. There is a talking saw-horse, a mechanical man, a lion, and a beautiful green city. There are many countries there, the most notable of them being divided into four sections according to location. You are not the only visitor from Earth; there have been multiple visitors including a girl who went on a lot of adventures with her three companions. Which of the following is NOT a natural disaster that caused the girl to go to this land? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. You were in a world with strange people and creatures when all of a sudden you were brought back to Earth! As it turns out, there is a girl who, like her father, has a special ability to bring people from other worlds into her own world. She has done this multiple times with people such as Dustfinger, Farid, and Capricorn. What action does she do to summon people from other worlds? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. You have found yourself in a very strange land indeed. You are in the Underworld where the shadows are predominant, but you understand that there are many locations and creatures in this world like a Wyverary, marids, and changelings. There are many ways to get to and from this world. When a girl from Nebraska visited this place, who took her here? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. It's winter here. It's always winter; you've heard tales of a wicked witch that rules over the land. There are many talking animals but watch out for the spies! What's one way you can get out of this land?

Answer: Wardrobe

This land would, of course, be Narnia from the "Chronicles of Narnia" series written by C. S. Lewis. While there are several ways to get to and from Narnia that have been used in the series, the very first way Lucy Pevensie travels to Narnia is by entering a wardrobe, which was made from enchanted wood.
2. You have now found yourself in a different land. You find a garden with talking flowers and chess figures. Everything seems strange and different here, and you meet some strange creatures such as fighting twins and a giant, talking egg that is doomed to fall. Assuming you can get out the same way you got in, how can you escape?

Answer: Mirror

This would be a description of Wonderland, but specifically from "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There" written by Lewis Carroll. In this case Alice does not travel through a rabbit hole, but rather through a mirror. She doesn't actually escape through the mirror, but surely where there's an entry there's an exit?
3. You are in a strangely familiar world. It resembles your own home, actually, except that it seems better. Your family is there as well, except that they seem to be a better version of themselves and have buttons sewn in place of their eyes! How can you escape?

Answer: Door

This would be the world from Neil Gaiman's book "Coraline". In this book, Coraline discovers a door that takes her to another world. It is basically her dream world; her "Other Mother" and "Other Father" pay attention to her and she enjoys it. However, this isn't a dream world and it's a good thing you escaped, because the Other Mother had a tendency to cast children aside and keep their souls.
4. Everything seems a little old-fashioned. You are surrounded by Gaelic clansmen who seem suspicious of you and your foreignness. In fact, they consider your modern ways and technology unnatural and possibly some form of witchcraft. You know that there once was a woman named Claire who decided to stay here. If you are getting back the same way she got here, what should you look for as an escape route?

Answer: Hill

This world is that in which Claire Randall found herself in "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. In this case, the hill of Craigh na Dun serves as a portal between the regular world and the past. Claire actually falls in love and decides to stay, but there's no reason for you to make the same choice.
5. You are still in present time on Earth. However, the world is filled with magic coming in all shapes and sizes: potions, spells, and animals. You are in a dark forest full of centaurs, large spiders, and even unicorns. In the distance, you can see a large castle-like structure. There are lots of other people here. If you are going to get home the same way they got here, what should you head for?

Answer: Train

In the "Harry Potter" series by J. K. Rowling, Harry goes to a magic school called Hogwarts. Hogwarts and the Wizarding world is not exactly a different world than Earth, but it is in a way. While there are many ways to get to Hogwarts, the simplest method is by boarding the Hogwarts Express, a train. And the simplest way to get back is by taking that very same train.
6. You are not sure where you are, but everything seems normal at first. The world you are in looks exactly like yours, uncannily so. Young children are speculating on what form their daemon will take when they get older. You hear whispers of the Church and something called Dust. What special tool must you use to escape this world?

Answer: Knife

You are in the world from Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials". This world is a parallel universe to our own, with some changes such as daemons, physical representations of one's soul that can change shape until puberty. The easiest (though it is not easy at all) way to travel between that world and ours is by using the Subtle Knife. Of course, doing so could let loose evil on the world again...
7. The next world is in our world, and at first glance it looks exactly like our world. It is only when you use your imagination that it is transformed, and you heard that a boy named Jess and girl named Leslie used to come here a lot, imagining kingdoms and adventures, until a great tragedy happened. If you are getting back the same way they got back before the tragedy, what must you use?

Answer: Rope

In "Bridge to Terabithia" by Katherine Paterson, Terabithia is an imaginary world made up by Leslie and Jess. They must swing on a rope over a river to get there, and one day Leslie attempts it and ends up dead. The rope broke and since then safer methods were used to cross the river.
8. You are in a very strange land with strange creatures. There is a talking saw-horse, a mechanical man, a lion, and a beautiful green city. There are many countries there, the most notable of them being divided into four sections according to location. You are not the only visitor from Earth; there have been multiple visitors including a girl who went on a lot of adventures with her three companions. Which of the following is NOT a natural disaster that caused the girl to go to this land?

Answer: Fire

The land you are in is Oz, according to L. Frank Baum's "Oz" series. While the first book where Dorothy travels to the Emerald City with the scarecrow, the tin woodsman, and the cowardly lion is the most popular, the stories of Oz extend far beyond that! Dorothy travels to Oz several times and even becomes a princess of Oz. I would highly recommend reading the full series by L. Frank Baum if you haven't already.
9. You were in a world with strange people and creatures when all of a sudden you were brought back to Earth! As it turns out, there is a girl who, like her father, has a special ability to bring people from other worlds into her own world. She has done this multiple times with people such as Dustfinger, Farid, and Capricorn. What action does she do to summon people from other worlds?

Answer: Read

While you could have been a part of any world, the girl that brought you to Earth is from "Inkheart" by Cornelia Funke. In this book, Meggie and her father have the power to bring things from books into their world just by reading. The problem with the gift is that for everyone or everything that goes from the world of the book to the world Meggie is in, something must go from Meggie's world to the world of the book. So when you were read out of your world, something else took your place!
10. You have found yourself in a very strange land indeed. You are in the Underworld where the shadows are predominant, but you understand that there are many locations and creatures in this world like a Wyverary, marids, and changelings. There are many ways to get to and from this world. When a girl from Nebraska visited this place, who took her here?

Answer: Green Wind

In this case the girl in question is named September from Catherynne M. Valente's "Fairyland" series. The Green Wind is a man dressed in emerald and leopard, and he is the one who first takes her to Fairyland. Fairyland is a very odd and confusing place, but September has many adventures on, underneath, and above this land.
